That's not how the bracket race works. You must first get your dial-in after a trial run. After you get your trial in, you have to estimate as closely as possible of what you think you can run (dial-in). Once you've determined that, then you start bracket racing. It's tournament tree style, where you race and the winner advances to the next round. You race starting at the given light (according to your dial-in), so left and right lane's tree will differ. The one who crosses the 1/4 finish line first (which is calculated to be theoreticall at the same time based on the dial-ins of both drivers, given that both of you get perfect 0 r/t along with the exact dial-in time) wins the race. That's why the reaction time is crucial only in bracket races. The other days are just test and tune days, where you just race for fun or for tuning and get your time slip. Your reaction time has no bearing effect on your final e/t or "win" against the fellow racer next to you.


If you already knew this, then forget what I posted. Haha. So, how many rounds did you win? How many runs did you get in? I know the high school bracket race (if it even is a real bracket race and not just a run what you brung event) ends at 10pm, usually.

 

when you "track" things you ended up in a mail box.

 

I left at like 11:00 but yea they taught me how the bracket works I just remembered him saying it comes down to r/t (maybe just have been all I heard instead of the entire thing) l0l I one like 2 rounds out of 3. And we did do dial in so i do remember that.

Thanks Mackie for bringing up that memory... I am not 15yrs old anymore

 

anytime mang, My buddy almost had his g35 into a building today. That was fun

 

Rofl that would completely take all jokes off of me with the mailbox thing l0l

 

So are we on for this Friday?

 

I am game just tell me when and where you want to meet or just meet up there

 

weather might own us?

 

Are they back to friday night stuff? I might have to see what the stock ss can do.

 

At this rate it most likely will not be open... if it is like in the low 40's they wont be open..

And you can check the texas motorplex or w.e the website is....

 

I'm guessing that you guys know that the track is closed today.

They will be OPEN tomorrow, March 8th (Saturday), from 11 am (gates open). The racing will begin at noon ending approximately around 6 pm.

 

I have to work all day tomorrow.

 

Next?

 

Friday, March 21st is the next non-competition racing. That means that it'll open at 6pm, racing starts at 7pm, closing at midnight.

 

Test and tune? or is it a bracket night? You want to go ? I really want to.

 

Friday nights are almost always Test and Tune nights. I definitely want to go (you don't even have to ask), but I doubt I can. My spring break got **** on with all the papers, reading, and projects I need to get done.

 

i would be down but i never get fridays or saturdays off, and i still have a couple of things to pay for on the car before i just go into saving mode for the stroker/turbos.... damn i need to get back out to the track though

 

I just leave early on Friday and head to the track 4:30ish . Then leave the track by 11:00.

 

yeah i work evenings

 

I think i'm going this friday...but i don't want to say 100% yet.
